Serious Capital Crimes

Jackson, Mississippi, Capital Crime Defense Attorney

A conviction of a capital crime can result in lengthy jail time or even the death penalty. At the Burghard Law Firm, PLLC, serving clients in Hattiesburg and Brookhaven, Mississippi, we understand the gravity of these cases and take them very seriously in diligently representing our clients and ensuring that their rights are protected.

The Burghard Law Firm, PLLC, has represented clients facing charges of murder, manslaughter, rape, and sexual molestation. These capital offenses are complex and need to be handled in a more sophisticated manner. Many attorneys do not have the experience or savvy to effectively represent their clients, who face dire consequences. We pride ourselves on our experience and success in defending our clients facing capital crimes charges.

Representing a client charged with a capital crime requires constant attention to the client and to the details. That includes forcing the court to go through the lengthy formal readings of all the statements. The defendant must be present at all hearings and meetings. The most successful capital crime attorneys work with their clients one-on-one in going through the evidence, discovery, motions, and witness statements.

We take the court proceedings surrounding capital crimes very seriously. Too much is at stake, and you need an attorney who is dedicated to ensuring that you get a fair trial and your rights are protected.
